About Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne

WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne is the only expansion pack released for WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos, the fantasy-based real-time strategy game and game world that eventually gave birth to World of WarCraft. The game was released in 2003 and added new races, new units for existing WC3 races, four new campaigns, and five new heroes. It also includes new buildings, sea units, and minor gameplay enhancements/upgrades. In addition to the new units, and buildings some of the gameplay changes include a new weapon and armor system with some weapons being more effective and different armor than it may have been in the original WarCraft III Reign of Chaos game.

Like many real-time strategy games, WarCraft III The Frozen Throne features an economic and military aspect that players must manage and balance between in order to be successful. In addition to the single-player campaigns, The Frozen Throne also supports player vs player multiplayer capability that includes a number of different game modes such as free for all, random teams and arranged teams in skirmish matches with up to eight players (4 vs 4).

WarCraft III The Frozen Throne also features a complete world editor which allows players to create and share their own games and maps. Some of these custom games have become very popular and their success has generated commercially produced games. These include titles such as Defense of the Ancients (Dota), Island Defense, and various Tower Defense style games.
